✨ Technical Specifications
Paying homage to the year the Nicosia family began their winemaking journey, the Generazione Mille898 Insolia represents a modern celebration of Sicily's rich viticultural heritage. Sourced from sun-drenched vineyards where cooling sea breezes temper the Mediterranean heat, this wine is crafted entirely from Insolia, also known historically as Ansonica, which is one of the island's most ancient indigenous white grape varieties. To preserve its delicate floral aromas and bright orchard fruit profile, the grapes undergo gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by brief maturation on the fine lees. The result is a beautifully balanced, refreshing white wine that captures the coastal essence of Sicily.
